How it works

Four steps, and you are in charge of the one that matters.

Nothing gets made until you have seen the likeness and said yes.

A finished couple bust on a sunlit sideboard

  1. Order

    Pick a size and check out. You do not need any photos yet.

  2. Send your photos

    We email a private upload link to the address you used at checkout. Two or three phone photos are enough: one from the front, one from the side, in good light.

  3. Approve the likeness

    Our artists sculpt a digital proof from your photos. Ask for changes to the face, hair or clothing until it looks like them. If it never does, cancel for a full refund before we begin.

  4. We make it

    3D-printed in marble PLA filament, finished and painted by hand, then packed and shipped. Three to four weeks in total to a US address, or 7–10 days with DHL Express.

The craft

Sculpted, not scanned. Painted by hand, one tone at a time.

Artists, not an app

A professional sculptor studies your photographs and shapes the likeness by hand: the set of the eyes, the line of the jaw, the way the hair falls.

Marble PLA, finished by hand

The approved design is 3D-printed in marble PLA filament, then finished and painted by hand. Small variations in surface texture are part of the finished piece.

Every tone painted by hand

Skin, hair, eyes, fabric. Each colour is mixed and applied by hand and matched to the photograph you sent, so the piece looks like them, not like a figurine.

Before you order anywhere

Five things to check about a custom sculpture.

Studios differ more than their photos suggest. These are the questions we would ask.

The question Sculptuvo
Do you see and approve the likeness before it is made? Always, with unlimited changes to the proof
Is the price clear, with no paid preview or finish upsells? Three sizes, three prices, one hand-painted finish
Is it painted by hand in full colour? Every piece, every tone
Is US shipping included, or charged as an extra? Free on every US order, tracked and insured
Is there a real timeline, not 'several months'? 3–4 weeks, or 7–10 days express

Our promise

Love it, or we will make it right.

Likeness is the whole point, so we never guess at it. You approve the digital proof before we begin. If the finished piece does not match the proof you approved, we re-sculpt or re-paint it at our cost. If the proof never looks like them, cancel for a full refund before we begin. The full terms are in our returns policy.

Questions

Everything people ask before they order.

Do I need photos to order?
No. Order first, then send photos through the private link we email you. Most people send them the same day, but there is no deadline.
Which photos work best?
Two or three clear photos in good light: one straight on, one from the side, and one you love. No sunglasses or hats unless you want them in the sculpture. Phone photos are fine.
Can it be two people?
Yes. Couples are our most common order. Choose Signature or Grand so both faces have room; the proof shows you exactly how they sit together.
What is it made of?
3D-printed in marble PLA filament, then finished and painted by hand. Display indoors, away from direct sunlight, heat and moisture.
How long does it take?
Three to four weeks in total to a US address with free shipping. Choose DHL Express at checkout and it arrives in seven to ten days for $49. The clock starts once we have your photos.
Do you ship outside the US?
Yes, with free tracked and insured shipping. Times vary by country and DHL Express is US-only for now, so write to us before ordering and we will confirm timing and any duties for your address.
What if the proof does not look like them?
Tell us what is off and we adjust it: the face, the hair, the clothing, the expression. There is no limit on changes to the proof. If it never feels right, cancel for a full refund before we begin.
How do I look after it?
Dust it with a soft, dry cloth. Keep it out of direct sunlight and away from heat, and it will look the same in twenty years.
